NAME
       codesign_allocate -  add code signing data to a Mach-O file

SYNOPSIS
       codesign_allocate -i oldfile [ -a arch size ]... [ -A cputype cpusubtype size ]... -o newfile

DESCRIPTION
       codesign_allocate  sets up a Mach-O file used by the dynamic linker so space for code signing data of
       the specified size for the specified architecture is embed in the Mach-O file.  The program  must  be
       passed  one  -a argument or one -A argument for each architecture in a universal file, or exactly one
       -a or -A for a thin file.

       -i oldfile
              specifies the input file as oldfile.

       -o newfile
              specifies the output file as newfile.

       -a arch size
              specifies for the architecture arch that the size of the code signing data is to be size.  The
              value of size must be a multiple of 16.

       -a cputype cpusubtype size
              specifies  for  the  architecture as a pair of decimal integers for the cputype and cpusubtype
              that the size of the code signing data is to be size.  The value of size must be a multiple of
              16.
